Resale Store

Your donations of gently used clean clothing and household items are provided to our clients free of charge. Items sold in the Resale Store provide funds for those in need. All proceeds from the store support the work we do together in our community.

This welcoming stand-alone store at 7140 Cooley Lake Road, steps away from the Open Door Outreach Center, provides gently used, clean, in-season clothing and shoes to –extremely low income families and individuals at no cost. Clothing is available in infant, children, teen and adult sizes.

In a recent year, 500 households received clothing and items for the home.

After qualified clients are given a signed voucher from the Outreach Center, they then can shop for free school clothes, socks, shoes, pajamas, backpacks, winter coats, hats - the list is long.

“Recently, in our Back To School Program, we gave a gift card to a 13-year-old girl so she could shop for new school clothes like shoes at Kohl’s,” says Karen Myers, executive director. “She cried because this was the first time she was able to shop for something new not used just for herself.”

The public is also invited to shop at the store, which is staffed by volunteers. Resale shopping is economical and fun! Come shop today!

All proceeds are used to support the operational costs of the Outreach Center.

The Resale Shop is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

Client Stories

A longtime elderly client who was having difficulties with bills and living expenses contacted Open Door. She called crying because she was being evicted. She was several months behind on her rent. Through a period of working with her, we discovered she had “friends” stopping in and taking her money from her. We were able to help her to pay rent and back rent to stay in her apartment. We also helped her get a payee for her bills who will make sure her expenses are paid on time. Also she now has a caseworker, through a partner agency, who helps her in daily living. She is now supported and has a secure roof over her head.
